the president talked about big things but i think the american public expects more than a big speech. the congressional budget office says they cannot score a speech there is no plan by the president. we are two weeks out. there is no budget by the senate. the american public expects us to get back to work. expects us to get a job done. today you'll see a bill on the floor that is straightforward. no more budget tricks, no more accounting gimmicks, no more lies to the american people. with me curb it and cut it and balance it for the future. the democrats sit back and say somehow they're opposed to a balanced budget. 16 years ago if they had that one more vote we wouldn't be here today. i want you to all imagine for one moment -- imagined that vote passed, what would our press conference be about today? would westbound investing in something. would westbound worried about unemployment? would westbound wondering about how big america is growing? well, now is the opportunity. we welcome democrats to join dawes but if they don't we'll pass it on our own. that is the contrast. that is the
